Orbi stops responding overnight

I've recently got an Orbi and successfully set it up with my broadband connection. It works fine throughout the day, including long periods of inactivity, but I find it stops responding overnight.  ...

    My RBR50 no longer drops! It's been up for almost 48 hours!

     

    Version: V1.12.0.18

    Steps: Updated firmware, reset Orbi router to factory, resync'd each satallite. Thanks Netgear Orbi Team!

I'm going through the same thing on V1.11.0.20. Every night, it just randomly disconnects. I'm using Windows RDP.

 

Anyone have a fix or understanding of the problem?

I gave up and switched to Google Wifi. Works great without any problems and was trivial to setup.

    I need to cover a pretty large distance, through lots of walls, even the Orbi trasmit power has dropped from 170Mbps at the source down to 15Mbps. I really would rather not switch to another product just yet.
